Image fader in header WordPress
- SOLVED
I'm using a variation of Chris Coyier's Anything Slider (http://css-tricks.com/examples/AnythingSlider/) called Anything Fader (http://css-tricks.com/examples/AnythingFader/) with a few navigation tweaks.
For reasons I can't figure out only the 2nd image in the photos set shows up. No matter which navigation link with in the fader is clicked, it'll only display the 2nd image.
Here is the header.php that contains the fader

And here is the jquery that powers the fader

To use the navigationFormatter function, you must have a function that
accepts two paramaters, and returns a string of HTML text.
index = integer index (1 based);
panel = jQuery wrapped LI item this tab references
@return = Must return a string of HTML/Text
navigationFormatter: function(index, panel){
return index + " Panel"; // This would have each tab with the text 'X Panel' where X = index
}

It looks like your stylesheet has come unstuck a bit. Try replacing your fader.css file's contents with the following:
.anythingFader {
width: 900px;
height: 347px;
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto 15px;
}
.anythingFader .fader {
width: 900px;
overflow: auto;
height: 304px;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.anythingFader .fader ul {
width: 9999px;
list-style: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.anythingFader ul li {
display: block;
float: left;
padding: 0;
height: 304px;

#start-stop {

#thumbNav {

top: 256px;
right: 8px;
text-align: right;

display: block;

#thumbNav a {

#thumbNav a:hover {
background-image: none;
border: 1px solid red;
color: #ef4035;
background-color: white;
}
#thumbNav a.cur {
background: white;
color: #ef4035;
}
/*

*/
.anythingFader .wrapper ul ul { position: static; margin: 0; background: none; overflow: visible; width: auto; border: 0; }
.anythingFader .wrapper ul ul li { float: none; height: auto; width: auto; background: none; }
I hope that helps :)

The first thing you can always try is looking at the results of the [[LINK href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fidentitypr.com%2F14962-tri-land-cherokee-south%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0"]]validation test[[/LINK]] that shows that there is an error:
<li>
<a href="http://identitypr.com/14962-tri-land-cherokee-south/contact">CONTACT</a>
</li></div>
At this point you've forgotten to close of the UL for your navigation. Try fixing that and see if it fixes it. I didn't see anything else obvious that could be causing the problem.
Dan Fraticiu answers:
In case you haven't figure it out, could you provide a live preview. It would really make our work a lot easier if we saw the problem.
heers.
Dan Fraticiu comments:
Not necesarily a problem solve, but more of a friendly advice:
You include jQuery twice: the 1.3.2 vesion and the 1.4 version, a best it's bandwidth overkill at worst it's causing you problem (and many more to come).
So pick one and stick with it. (the AnythingFade demo page uses 1.4 version, but I'm pretty sure it will work just fine with 1.3.2)
So try removing this line
